<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9770953, member: 10944"]A wealth of knowledge as always tapou, 2many, and aj. I knew it didn’t look right for Navajo based on technique but a long time industry seller called it that so I figured I’d mention it. When it’s possible something could be confused as NA by a hopeful bidder they default to calling it NA. Despite personally believing it wasn’t Navajo, when it started picking up bids I started wondering if the bidders were just the hopeful lot I mentioned above or if they knew something I didn’t. I figured I’d better secure it and find out later. Bought at a price I could pretty confidently make my self even Steven at if it turned out to be nothing too good. It seemed interesting enough to take a chance on. Here’s some photos of the center stitching where the halves join. It is definitively a rectangle. There’s also a tag that would be ever so helpful if we could make it out. Maybe Aqua can work her magic here?! Not much left to work with but maybe worth a try. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>After bringing it home it wound up in a spot of honor in my home. I had been in the market for a neutral colored lounge chair for my dining room. In the dark on the way home one day I found the pictured chair on the sidewalk on trash day. Not a very nice chair but it was the size and tilted back form I was hoping for. I could tell it wasn’t perfect but rigged it in my trunk half hanging out and hoped it wouldn’t fall out on the five min drive. The trunk was open and I had only one stretched flimsy bungee that would not reach any solid anchor points to try to keep it in place. Going up the last hill I heard it tumble out and hit the road. Lol. I jumped out and threw it back in and got home. Much too ugly to leave as it was. I was going to throw it back out and remembered this rug had just come in. I think it looks pretty decent and am happy with it until I find the perfect lounger. Even if worthless as a collectible it’s paid for itself in decor and comfort.
